There are those fans who feel a sense of pride, almost parental, about the ongoing success of ex players. I still feel than Walcott, Bale, Ox are still part of the family and will do for Ricky, Adam and Luke. Yes we didn't want them to go but that's the way it goes and has done for years. However, Once a Saint always a Saint. Don't be too hard on them and no sour grapes please

Good luck to the Shaman, he achieved a lot with us and now becomes and advert for our youth system with Bale, Wlcott, the Ox and the rest.

One day soon we will hold on to more of our top youth, but all clubs sell at the right price. Even the Barcas and manures.

Personally I look forward to seeing Targett and more of Clyne.

At least Fox is already gone!

Shaw is a good player,,, but both he and Lallana were massively overrated by Manure and L'Pool.... Shaw will get found out by quality defenders and Lallana will have to up his pass completion.... Liverpool's desperate buying will end in disaster... they are trying to buy a team in one go and this is a recipe for trouble. With no Suarez they will not score so many goals with 8 players in defensive positions and I can not see them finishing in the top 4 next season. To be honest although AL was a wank3r the way he left , I don't wish him or Shaw and bad feeling ... good luck to them...

if they are Ex saints MOVE ON its boring now I understand pages in papers and website pages need filling but us saints fans are more concerned with the replacement of these players and as of yet he hasn't been replaced that's more important to me his replacement

Presumably this means Paul Scholes was unavailable due to being back in the mental institution after his last rant about Shaw left him frothing at the mouth

Interesting analogy but a more suitable one would be to compare the situation to your children leaving home to follow a career instead of staying with the family firm.
If you prefer the wife version you could say that after the bitterness fades you realise you loved them once and perhaps some of the fault lay with you. Better to review,improve and make a fresh start. It's going to be fun!
